Removing Window Tints

[Trist]

I went to have a look at my ST at the dealer today. Previous owner has put tints all round (minus windscreen) I would like to remove the front side tints and just leave the back half. For safety at night and looks really.

Best and easiest way to do this?

On the upside the car is truly immaculate, not a mark on anything! Well happy

Thanks

I got stopped by the police and made to remove my front tints and they just peeled off no marks even

No glue residue left over?

just peal the film off and use a glass scraper and window cleaner to get rid of the glue, might take some doing but it will come off.

I've been told to use a stanley blade scraper tool. £3.50 from B&Q, will that be ok?

just a very very slight bit but you couldn't really see it unless you was looking for it definately didn't need a scraper just a wipe over with glass cleaner. obviously different places use different films and methods though..

Yes mate if you need it to remove any glue that will be ideal

just be careful trist,when i got pulled and the police pulled mine off they let so much residue,i tried everything even petrol but it was not coming off,looked **** and effected the windows when i wanted them down.This was down to the tinter using such strong adhesive so i imagine others could be like mine was.

Cheers tom, I'll bare that in mind, I might get the dealer to pull them off.

i had loads of glue etc when i had to take mine off, water and a stanley blade worked a treat!!!

[Trist]

No scratches or marks left on the glass?
